About this listen
Is blood thicker than water?
Do loyalties only stay within the confines of the family?
Bobby and Tilly’s relationship has dealt with enough hardship. From Bobby’s crutch with drugs, to ease the pain of time, as he thought Tilly’s heart ceased to beat forever. To Tilly’s over-bearing parents moving into town, relentlessly manipulating her to move back home and forget about The Afton Adders. Their relationship was already tested by her near-death experience; will it fortify against the storms that arise? Or will it wither and die?
They find their fate isn’t decided by them, but by another.

As much as I loved these characters and the narration, I just wanted a little more depth to push this to a four star for me. Bobby's addiction, Marcus' mental health and Tilly's trauma all had a lot of potential to go a lot deeper but it felt a little surface level for some of those elements as it is a fast paced story. I was still engaged and enjoyed the listen but it felt like a missed opportunity.
Although there are dark themes, the humour which balances it out was really funny; from the horse names to Bobby's cowboy antics, and pretty much anything Biscuit said. He and Baba are my favourite side characters and I hope there is more of them in book three!
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
Fantastic Narration

Bobby,Tilly and Marcus each have their own traumas and stories that they are battling and it was so beautiful how with each they found healing and the love they deserve.
I would like to add that I’m also ready to be branded into the Afton Adders 😏
The narration was outstanding wow!!
Allie Rose as Tilly whew holy hot!! She has this sultry voice especially when Tilly shows her dominate side it was beautiful. Her emotional depth wow she brought me to instant tears and her Baba is outstanding I love it so hard!!
James Jospeh my favourite thing is his range of accents and the choice he made with Bobby might be may favourite ahhh I just loved it so so much they way he would deliver Bobbys playful lines and then his commanding lines perfection! He really showed his range of British accent which as a Brit I personally loved! Nobody else in my opinion could have voice Bobby better.
Sean Masters as Marcus this is my first time hearing him using a British accent and I’m so impressed it was really amazing wow! The emotion he brought to Marcus character was heartbreaking Marcus was so broken and didn’t feel worthy and I felt it in my whole chest perfection!!
This book is more perfect than I can imagine no notes!!!
I’m so excited for book 3.
Thank you to Blue Nose for the early listen!!
OUTSTANDING !!!
